    Parliament Suspended in Canada

    STORY: After a week of political drama in Canada, it came to this - Parliament suspended and Prime Minister Stephen Harper fending off calls for his resignation. [Ken Dryden, Liberal]: "No! Sorry! It's over, we can't trust you anymore. We need a new prime minister." It started when Liberals and New Democrats - with the support of the separatist Bloc Quebecois - formed an opposition. In heated debates, they vowed to defeat Harper's minority Conservative government - in a confidence vote. The unlikely allies said Harper was not doing enough to cushion the effects of the global financial crisis. Trying to hold on to his job the Prime Minister appealed to the public - in a rare televsison address Wednesday night. [Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada]: "Tonight I pledge to you that Canada's government will use every legal means at our disposal to protect our democracy, to protect our economy and to protect Canada." Liberal leader Stephane Dion - the man who would become prime minister if the coalition succeeded in ousting Harper's government - responded. [Stephane Dion, Liberal Leader]: "I will work day and night to combat this economic crisis, to do what it takes to minimize its effects on Canadians, to protect jobs and to create jobs." Thursday morning, Harper arrived at the residence of Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean. Against the urging of the coalition, Jean agreed to Harper's rare request to suspend Parliament. As the representative of Canada's head of ...

    Join Monarchist League of YouTube - www.youtube.com If you want more information on the monarchy then please visit my channel - www.youtube.com MONARCHY IN CANADA From the days of earliest settlement the only form of society Canadians have known has been a monarchy. The native people themselves had a tribal idea of kingship. Our tradition of monarchy was French and British and became, as it now is, distinctly Canadian. In 1867 Canadians freely and deliberately reaffirmed their allegiance to the Monarchy. They have done so at each subsequent stage in their political development. The Constitution of Canada declares that the Government of Canada and the Commander in Chief of the Forces are vested in the Queen. Her Majesty is one of three parts of the Parliament of Canada (Queen, Senate and Commons). She is Sovereign of the Order of Canada, Sovereign of the Order of Military Merit, Colonel-in-Chief of numerous units of the Canadian Forces, Honorary Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Patron of many institutions and organizations in various walks of Canadian life. The Queen succeeded to the Throne in 1952. She assumed the separate title "Queen of Canada" by Act of Her Canadian Parliament 1953. She was crowned 1953 and became the first Sovereign to open the Parliament of Canada in person 1965, and proclaimed the National Flag of Canada 1965. Presided at the Centenary of Canadian Confederation 1967. Opened the Montreal Olympics 1976. Celebrated Her Silver ...
